Resurrected Immortal 464

Chapter 464 – 464. God’s Key to Recreate the Myth (2)

Eunhyeon, who threw herself into the furnace, felt no pain at all.
Yet warm and cozy.
Vulcan’s assurances that he would be all right, protected by the godhead, were indeed true.
Eunhyeon slowly closed her eyes as the anxiety that her soul might be destroyed gradually faded.
The feeling of entering the hearth was like falling into the depths of the open sea.
My legs couldn’t reach the bottom, and I felt as if my whole body was swaying back and forth as it was swept away by the current.
Even if I just stay still like this, will my authority be completed?
When he harbors such complacent thoughts.

Kaaang!

“… !”

Eun-hyeon was startled by the impact of the cast iron hitting his chest and his body moved.
But the screams don’t come out.
He was in the furnace and his voice itself did not come out.

Kaaang!

Without even realizing what had happened, the impact of the cast iron hitting her chest continued to torment Eun-hyeon.
Soon after, Eunhyun realized it belatedly.

‘I see.’

This brazier is Vulcan’s space.
If so, the shock of this iron striking his chest is the aftermath of Vulcan’s smelting his soul.
Eun-hyeon realized the role he had to play in this brazier.

‘I have to endure.’

A great weapon is born through repeated hammering dozens or hundreds of times.
Here, the current self is neither a human nor a demigod, but rather like steel to be made into a weapon.

Kaaang!

Eunhyun bit her teeth and endured the impact of the hammer hitting her soul.
The shock is very intense.
Perhaps, if he had not attained divine status, his soul might have perished in this hearth, driven mad by unbearable pain.

Kaaang!

After the intense shock that seemed like she would faint, Eunhyeon felt the energy of enormous divine power flowing into her soul.
It is the divine power of Vulcanus that is beating and smelting his own soul.
The divine power flows into Eunhyeon’s soul and blends together, creating a stronger and stronger strength inside.

Kaaang!

However, as it hardened, the amount of impact repeatedly applied to the soul became very strong, unlike the beginning.
Vulcan’s hammering, repeated without knowing the end, became more and more intense, and it was a process to further refine Eun-hyeon’s soul.
Eunhyeon endured this smelting with evil and can.
At the end of the time I just endured this pain without mental space to count how many times it was repeated.
The smelting of the hammer that pounded Eunhyeon’s soul came to an end.
Feeling as if she was floating on the open sea, Eun-hyeon’s body jumped out of the furnace and fell to the floor.

[Congratulations.]

Hearing the voice of God speaking to him in a hazy mind, Eunhyeon, who had fallen on the floor, blankly stared into space and confirmed the appearance of Vulcanus.

“Done… Are you afraid?”

[Yes.]

The voice that I couldn’t make at all in the furnace was able to come out as soon as I came out of the furnace, but the end of my voice was severely cracked, as if I hadn’t taken in water for ten days.
Vulcanus nodded his head slightly and answered Eunhyeon’s question.

[How do you feel?]

“… It’s the worst.”

Eun-hyeon frowned as she felt the state of her body where her whole body wasn’t getting any strength.
Not to mention his cracked voice, his whole body was as hot as a ball of fire.
It feels like your bones are burning, and the blood in your body is evaporating and your muscles are complaining of pain.
More than when he was in the furnace, he felt more pain now outside.

[Still, being alive itself is very meaningful.]

“I am… My power is then…”

[It was hard. I succeeded.]

“Yes… That’s right.”

Eun-hyeon tried to use the key in her soul, which was in the worst physical condition, but due to the headache and pain in her body, she couldn’t use the key properly as expected.

[Let me rest a little.]

“But try it right now and make adjustments…”

[Originally, iron that has just come out of a furnace must cool down and go through the final process before being reborn as a true weapon.]

“…”

Eunhyeon could not refute Vulcan’s advice.

[Now, while slowly restoring your soul, you have to make the completed authority, divine power, and your divine power harmonize.]

That is the ‘last process’ mentioned by Vulcan.

[This is a role that you have to fulfill purely on your own, and it’s an area I can’t help with.]

“… Okay.”

Eun-hyeon, it was a job that only she could do.

[Then I think you’d better go back to your goddess and rest.]

“… I am so sorry to say goodbye and leave in this way.”

It’s really disrespectful to say thank you in an ugly way, unable to get up after collapsing on the floor, let alone repay the grace that has helped him a lot.
However, Vulcanus showed no concern for Eunhyun’s example.

[It was a good time to have a very meaningful experience as a blacksmith.]

“Someday… We will definitely see you again.”

[I do.]

Eunhyeon and Vulcanus said goodbye, promising to meet again someday.

‘Berdandi.’

When he called out to his goddess again in his heart, the space that changed was the bedroom of Eun-hyeon, who had been skin-to-skin with Belldandi several times before.

“The child is really… You don’t listen. I told you not to worry so much.”

I squinted my eyes and glanced at Eunhyun who was lying on the floor.

“… Sorry.”

Eunhyeon couldn’t have imagined that Vulcan’s smelting method would be so bloody.

“Whoa, that’s it.”

Belldandy sighed as if he couldn’t help it when he saw his apostle who didn’t listen no matter how many times he said it.
Soon after, he collapsed on the floor and helped Eunhyeon, who couldn’t control herself, and laid her on the bed.
Before long, he hugged Eunhyun tightly.

“Berdandy?”

“Stay still. You are restoring the child’s soul.”

“… Yes.”

Belldandy channeled his divine power to his apostle, who was connected by his soul.
It was less efficient than flesh-to-skin or direct relationships, but it was the best way for Eun-hyeon, who couldn’t even control her body properly.

“Whoa…”

Eunhyeon let out a sigh of relief as she felt her body, which had been filled with intense pain as if her bones were burning and her blood was evaporating, gradually regained stability.
I thought maybe now I could use my authority key.

“What are you thinking about?”

As if reading his thoughts, he was slapped on the back by Belldandy, who was hugging his upper body.

“For now, just focus on recovery.”

“… Yes.”

Eunhyeon couldn’t help but nod her head at the nagging of her goddess.

The guards guarding the gates of the Duchy of Armitas, which were crowded with many people, were having a very busy day today.
The number of people flowing into the interior of the Duchy, which is developing day by day, is increasing, and of course, the checkpoint process is in full swing at the gates for various types of people to enter the territory.

“You may come in!”

However, the guards, who were doing extremely busy work, were in the middle of a hectic day.

“In a row! Please enter in turn!”

The endless procession of people coming in one after another was very diverse.
Adventurers returning to the territory after completing a request, or merchants carrying various goods and selling goods in the territory.
And it is none other than refugees who make up the largest percentage of the procession.
Shabby clothes and faces that have been worn out by spending a lot of time on the road and sleeping for a long time.
Their skinny bodies, which had not been able to eat properly, were in danger as if they were going to collapse at any moment without being able to exert their energy.
In Armitas Manor, which boasts a large population, the number of people passing through the checkpoint is over 10,000.
However, that is only an estimated number based on a 24-hour day, and the checkpoint, which was packed with a large queue of nearly a thousand people, was now close to being paralyzed by traffic jams.
The current checkpoint, which has been supported by a large number of guards so as not to cause inconvenience to adventurers, merchants, and others entering the territory, was like a noisy market.

“This is…”

After passing through the checkpoint from the guards at the checkpoint and entering the territory, Tease gazed into the interior of the Duchy of Armitas with a dazed expression.
Very clean, well-maintained roads and children running on them.
The interior of the territory, which was crowded with people, seemed to be in very good order compared to the number.

“… Great.”

Security was well established, and children were playing lively and chatting freely outside.
The streets are filled with a bright atmosphere, and there was no such thing as hardship or need to pass each day for Young Ji-min walking on the streets.
It was a very ideal territory itself for Tees, who had previously managed a small manor as a member of the kingdom of Rendir.

“Younglord. Here is…”

A young refugee girl who followed Tease looked at the Duchy of Armitas with the same dazed expression as Tease and muttered.

“It’s like heaven.”

“… I see.”

Tease nodded her head in agreement with the refugee girl.
The streets of Yeongji, which fills the eyes, are full of energy.
A street where young boys and girls could come out and laugh and play in peace was a mysterious sight to Tease and the refugees who entered with him.
The faces of people walking on the street are full of bright energy full of laughter, not expressions of exhaustion and need to get through each day.

“…”

“Lord?”

“Number of animals. I am no longer the lord.”

Tease shook her head and denied the slender girl’s words as she grabbed her own hand.
Why can he still live with the title of lord after abandoning the territory given to him by the country and running away with the people and continuing his life as a refugee?

“Hmm? But the lord is the lord.”

A girl named Marie did not fully understand Tease’s complicated state of mind.
Marie, who tilts her head, is a delicate girl with a sad story of losing her parents, being an orphan who lost her place to go, and being enslaved by bad people.
Tease went round and round and was sold to Tease’s estate, where her hands were always in short supply, but she was not treated badly and stroked the girl’s hair as she continued her life as a serf.

“I’m sorry. Was it very difficult?”

A young girl who should grow up eating a lot of good things is wearing shabby clothes and slender limbs that are likely to break if she goes wrong due to excessive marching.
It’s not just a little girl named Marie.
Tease felt sorry for all of her people.
However, she was eventually able to find a breakthrough of hope in the hardships she had been through so far.

“My choice was right.”

After the destruction of the kingdom of Rendir, she was able to gain confidence that her choice was the correct answer as she immediately ran away with her people.
Her confidence was further strengthened by the maid who now appeared in front of her.

“I was waiting. Tiz.”

Lily lifted the hem of her long maid’s skirt slightly and bowed her elegantly. Tease nodded her head and bent her waist.

“Long time no see. Lily.”

“Please raise her head.”

“I can’t do that. You… You are my benefactor.”

“I am not the one who took the measures to save Tiz-sama and the villagers belonging to Tiz-sama’s territory. You are my master.”

Lily’s words immediately reminded Tease of a man.
She visited her own manor with Lily, kept her mother’s mementos and letters from her mother, treated her humanely, and thanked her greatly for keeping her on her deathbed. A male within the enemy.

“To him who is your master and her husband… I really want to say thank you someday.”

“Of course I will.”

Lily nodded her head with a gleeful smile at Tease, who was nothing short of her benefactor.

“Now… What will become of us?”

The number of his people who believed in Tease and followed him was a large number of over 1,000.
Worried about whether it would be possible to accept this number as refugees at once, Tease waited for Lily’s answer.

“The lord of Armitas Duchy has already decided to accept Tiz-sama and all of Tiz-sama’s subjects.”

“That is… Really?”

“Yes.”

I checked again, but Tease continued to put on an expression of disbelief.
After hearing Lily’s words, Teese’s villagers were also about to become agitated and noisy, and Lily approached Teeze.

“First of all, we have prepared a temporary shelter for refugees to rest. Elvin? Erin?”

“Okay.”

“Huh. Sister.”

The two men and women responded to Lily’s call.

“I will ask you to lead the refugees.”

“I will.”

“Huh. Now! Everyone, follow me!”

Taking her eyes off the men and women and the soldiers who clapped their hands together and began to lead the refugees, Lily spoke to Tease again.

“Tiz-sama will immediately guide you to the ducal residence where the lord is.”

“That…”

“Yes. He wants to find out the details of how the kingdom of Rendir came to be destroyed.”

There are not that many facts that he knows about himself as a small manor, who manages only one small manor.
But Tiz nodded his head.
Perhaps this side also understands Tease’s position well.
Nevertheless, the testimony of a person who came directly from the Kingdom of Rendir is very valuable information.
At least, he wanted to repay his favor for making the decision to accommodate him and his 1,000 villagers.

“… I see.”
